In this procedure, an electronic device that converts electricity into heat shaped like coiled wires placed through the incision get into parts of the disc. Electric current is applied so as to produce a temperature of 90 degrees centigrade slowly. This therapy can be carried out on an outpatient basis and under local anesthesia.

In some therapeutic experience indicates that the patient may be free from the pain for 6 months. The effects of the therapy in use for a long time can not be determined. A review of existing research has not found evidence that the therapy is effective in treating a pinched nerve due to disc problems.
